Ether Productions Present: The Locked Room

28th October – 1st November 2014

Project Arts Centre, 39 East Essex Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2

Two circus performers wake up with amnesia and find themselves in a locked room. They haven’t a clue who or where they are but they want to get out!

The Locked Room is Waiting for Godot meets an explosion in a paint factory. A mystery, wrapped in a comedy, with circus, laughter, screams, acrobatics, dancing, balancing, eating, climbing, singing, fighting, a trapeze and the accidental activation of a nuclear bomb. Will they escape or will they miss the way out that’s right under their very noses?

The Locked Room will feature the work of the core team that brought you 2013’s Landfall. Written by and with performances from Ether Productions’ Niamh Creely and Jonathan Walsh, the show features exciting new design by Landfall designer Pauric Hackett and is produced by Lisa Fox. Ether will be using spoken word for the first time in a performance and will also be working with dramaturg Dan Colley (Distance From the Event, Monster/Clock). In The Locked Room, Ether Productions spins an hilarious and mindbending yarn while wowing audiences with the spectacular physical flare that fans have come to expect from the company.
